Hosea 11 New International Version
God’s Love for Israel
11 “When Israel was a child, I loved him,
and out of Egypt I called my son.
2 But the more they were called,
the more they went away from me. ( humans had small ears and reptiles even smaller )
They sacrificed to the Baals ( storm, fertility & agriculture, infected produce )
and they burned incense to images. ( sticks and cones to confuse the mirror )
God was with me from the beginning
3 It was I who taught Ephraim to walk,
taking them by the arms;
but they did not realize
it was I who healed them.
The left arm or right arm is holding the babies back in position, braced from the bottom ( protecting ), to the shoulders while the hand cups the head. This is Mothers struts and back brace that is connected to her umbilical chord at the base of your spine.
4 I led them with cords of human kindness,
with ties of love.
To them I was like one who lifts
a little child to the cheek,
and I bent down to feed them.
The cords and ties are the veins and tendons. Lifting was two hands under the babies armpits and the fingers cupping the back of the head. The cupping of a woman’s breasts.
